Agenda item

The Director of Planning, Development and Transportation submits a report on planning applications received for consideration by the Panel.

A)   100 Church Gate

Pre-App Presentation by Applicants

 

A scheme was discussed.

 

 

 

B)   190 London Road

Planning Application 20212876

 

Construction of detached three storey building to provide 8 flats (2 x Studio, 6 x 2 bed) (Class C3); provision of soft and hard landscaping, car and bicycle parking, bin store, drainage infrastructure and boundary treatment; removal of trees; alterations to existing accesses and frontage boundary wall; and demolition of single storey structures adjacent to 190 London Road (AMENDED PLANS RECEIVED 09/08/2023)

 

The panel acknowledged the difficulties posed by the location and the conflict between the two adjacent character areas. They welcomed some of the improvements made to the design, principally the treatment of the “rear” elevation. However, members retained reservations about the dominance of hard landscaping across the site and felt the location of the parking bays restricted access to the open space beyond. Further, the panel noted areas on the plans, around the gables and dormers, where materials and details were seemingly not considered or well executed. Members felt more specific information on materials and detailing is required at this point due to the sensitive location. It was agreed that glimpsed views of the development would be possible from London Road and Oxford Avenue.

 

The Panel are supportive of the principal of development in this location; however, they agreed that the application at present lacks the specific detail required to offer their support.
